Wanted: 1 cow for Packers movie

The film crew of “The Sixty Yard Line” is in need of a cow for a scene in the Packers-themed romantic comedy set to begin filming in Green Bay later this month. The preference is for a good-looking Holstein, but there is a catch.

The animal must be small enough to fit through the door of the Ashwaubenon house at the corner of Stadium Drive and Oneida Street, where much of the filming will take place, so a calf might also be a possibility, said Ryan Churchill, the Wisconsin native who co-wrote and is co-producing the low-budget film with Nick Greco.

It’s not a demanding role.

“She’ll simply be standing in the kitchen and then walk out of the front door,” Churchill said.

The cow, however, will be able to put on its resume that it has worked with actress Leah Thompson (of the “Back to the Future” movies), Packers fullback John Kuhn and former Packers offensive tackle Mark Tauscher, all of whom have roles in the movie.

“The Sixty Yard Line” tells the story of how a guy’s favorite sports team — the Packers — comes between him and his girl. It raised $22,000 through a 60-day Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign last winter that allowed the filmmakers to hire a casting director for the $600,000 independent movie.

It’s expected to film at the house near Lambeau Field and elsewhere in the Green Bay area during a 15-day shoot. The tentative target date for release is sometime during the 2016 Packers season.
